HISTORY
Something that Cisco was blissfully unaware of until 2012 was the fact that her grandmother, Bella Cavallone, was a high-level operative of the Methuselah and a powerful Reynardi that – because of the traumatic loss of her husband – took any excuse to hunt werewolves down. She also did not know that Vincenzo Profaci, her childhood friend and long-time crush, was a Werewolf. The Change had never happened to her mother, and it did not look like it was going to happen to her older brothers. Furthermore, when she and Cen had still been in contact regularly, Cen himself had been unaware of his family’s legacy.
Cisco’s first introduction to the World of Darkness and to Netsach occurred a few months after she elected to stay behind in the Philippines rather than return to Italy and continue to live with her brothers and her parents. It should be noted that the feral within her was starting to stir, making it increasingly difficult for her to live comfortably. She got a hold of Cen, whom she had not been in steady contact with for months, and asked if they could hang out: her mood was all over the place because of the beginnings of the Change, and she was raring for some familiar company that wasn’t out to smother her. En-route to Haven, Cisco ended up tumbling into the Dark Hour. Cen, together with members of Wolf’s Choice, pulled her out. The Malice Kings later had Wolf’s Choice stay with Cisco until she underwent her First Change, but the person who actually stayed with her throughout the agonizing process was Kalika Shinta, another Changing Breed like herself.
Cisco ended up joining Netsach, and becoming a member of Wolf’s Choice. She did her best to provide as much support for her new blade mates as possible by participating in as many engagements as she could, which also put her in contact with two new “families” for her to be a part of: the Pack, and the Rockin’ Rollas. She also reconnected with Cen, and the two of them managed to rise above the natural tendency for their kinds to hate each other without question. Another thing that she applied herself to was attempting, in her own way, to live independently from the dreams of her grandmother Bella, who took an unhealthy amount of interest in Cisco the moment she realized that one of her descendants had “finally received the gift” and was no longer useless. By the time Operation Nyx came around, Cisco was a full-fledged operative of Netsach, and she and Cen were involved in a romantic relationship.
Initially, Cisco’s life seemed to be on track after Operation Nyx. She held an esteemed position in Liyab’s Lodge of the Vigil (she was the first Changing Breed that this particular Lodge had accepted into their ranks), and she was an invaluable member of Netsach and Zangyaku. She and Vincenzo Profaci were also incredibly happy with each other, and got married. The loss of her one and only child with Cen, however, destroyed Cisco. She had been hoping that the magic of her own line, as Changing Breed, would break the Uratha “curse”. Although she tried to hold on for a little bit longer and salvage her relationship with Cen, Cisco eventually requested for an extended overseas assignment from Liandrin Delacroix: building a more extensive database of the Fifth World’s Changing Breed, and constructing safe houses for them all around the globe. While this was a pressing need for the conspiracy, it was ultimately an escape hatch. She needed to get away.
Between, 2029 and 2038, Cisco practically dropped off Netsach’s radars, contacting the conspiracies she was licensed with only when she had found a new Changing Breed, or if she had successfully established another safehouse. Furthermore, the only person she consistently contacted was Halo Jafelice, who had left the Philippines years before in order to do what Cisco was doing for herself at that moment. This was partially attributed to the fact that she had met another Reynardi on the road, a man named Darren. Cisco had wrongfully thought that Darren would make a suitable mate, and that it would only be proper for her to stick with her own kind. She actually ended up having two children with Darren, which further distanced her from her friends in the Vigil, and from her own family.
Things changed when Darren finally crossed the line: while they were in Thailand, he sold Margaret – his daughter with Cisco – to a prostitute ring that specialized in servicing clients whose particular kink involved supernatural whores. Enraged, Cisco killed him during their confrontation. Interestingly enough, the Death that came for Darren’s soul was Hikaru Shinta, one of Cisco’s closest friends: he had broken his “cycle” just long enough to handle things, and speak to Cisco for the first time since she witnessed Hikaru go down in Japan back in 2024.
This was Cisco’s turning point. She went back on the grid, and by 2039 – after she reconciled with the people she had had a falling out with and reconnecting with all of her friends and her remaining family – she had returned to the Philippines with her two children in tow. This gave her the opportunity to come back to Cen, and patch things up with him. She was afraid that he would not accept her children, and would never forgive her. She was wrong.
CURRENT STATUS
Cisco has since retired from active Hunting after the Armistice at Blaece. She plans on spending the rest of her years handling the administrative matters of Liyab’s Lodge of the Vigil together with her husband, overseeing the various safehouses that she and Halo managed to create, and watching over her children.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Cisco’s tendency to shy away from responsibility was grounded on a deep lack of self-confidence and an aversion towards being tied down. She loved people and yearned for intimacy and acceptance, but was only too often unwilling to exert the effort to get to know others and invest time, energy and effort in maintaining lasting relationships. Becoming an operative of Netsach grounded her, mostly because it forced Cisco to realize that she had to stop running and take a stand if she ever wanted to be happy.
Her experiences with Vincenzo Profaci and the loss of her child together with her decision to break out of an abusive relationship with Darren ultimately made Cisco own up to her mistakes and take responsibility for them rather than pass them on to someone else. This also contributed to a major shift in her personality, as she moved from being a Sun-Chaser to a Den-Warden. The world, she had come to realize, was full of only too many beautiful and fragile things, and she had to be strong enough to protect them.
THREAT LEVEL
COMMENDABLE/NON-FACTOR. Although it was initially difficult to rely on Cisco due to her personal inclinations, the shift of Heart-Paths together with her experiences has matured her considerably. She is, at the moment, a valuable Keeper of the Vigil, even if she has chosen to stay off the battlefield unless it is absolutely necessary for her to step up.

- Approach Inquisitor Montelibano-Profaci re: updates, status of Changing Breed on a macro level.
Check and see how she’s doing too. Are she and Cen…?
